'A brilliantly intelligent and multi-layered novel.Tense, chillingly beautiful, moving.this is first-class writing' The Times
The year is 1957, and the place is Paris, where the psychic wounds of World War II have barely begun to heal. Saffie, a young German woman, becomes maid, then wife to Raphael, a privileged French musician who finds her remoteness provocative and irresistible. One day in the old Jewish quarter of the city; where she has taken Raphael's flute to be repaired, Saffie meets a Hungarian instrument maker - and all their lives are unexpectedly, dramatically altered.
Driven by passion, but damaged in different ways by war, these two people find themselves crossing dangerous boundaries. Told against the rising tide of violence unleashed by the Algerian conflict, The Mark of the Angel builds to a shocking climax conveying the loss of innocence and the tragic irony of these lives twisted out of shape by the weight of history.
'One of the best novels I've read this year.a haunting exploration of shattered lives. Huston places herself as the detached observer, guiding the reader through a peepshow in which the huge tragic events of the war are seen only through reflection in the intimate dealings of her characters many years later' Alberto Manguel, Times Literary Supplement
'The writing style is almost tactile, like a dressmaker caressing a fine piece of silk' Washington Post
